not a bug exactly...

drakonfire · 01-08-2004, 09:15 PM

but i didnt kno where else to put this, this is in regards to pyromancer block rates

i kno that things r supposed to be balanced in the long run, etc.

but pyros only have 33% blocking, and i have been counting, for the past 6 games the block rate has come out almost exactly 50% from the front, and somewhere around 30% for the sides

we're sure this is just me and there isnt a glitch in the last update that made them uber blockers?

i've noticed the same thing. I haven't been keeping track officially (ie. writtin records) but it seems to me that pyros block a hell of a lot more than 33%. It could be luck, but if enough of us notice the same thing then maybe it isn't.

i blocked 3 knight attks and 2 scout attks in a row with a pyro

i aim for scouts more than i do for pyros now

nah its right

i fought vs someone Dark Magic witch.. that damn witch blocked 3 knight attacks from the side and 4 scout shots from the front.

But i trust that it was no uber witch and i torched it with my witch and pyro.

I used to get this problem a lot, but as of late, I haven't really been seeing it happen too much...

maybe it's because I don't play as much as I used to...

i noticed that happening too. its actually handy! but i say attack from the back. best results. lol

BoBo The Fool · 01-20-2004, 07:14 PM

Lately i've changed my view from thinking that pyros block 33% and witches 20% to thinking that pyros block 1 out of 3 times and witches block 1 out of 5 times........ since i changed my viewpoints, the blocking seems to be a bit more accurate and i don't get pissed off as much.

I guess it's just one of those psychological things

7 consecutive side shots for pyro blocking knight and scout..SIDE SHOTS!!!

I'm sure you would not be complaining if you were getting all of those blocks.

I love when my witch blocks 2 in a row. I lost a match because a knight blocked 10 attacks in a row from the side. No, in the situation I couldn't attack from the back. After about the third time I just kept hittin and shootin to see how long it would go.
